Question

Bill has to make party bags for his sister's birthday party. He was given 3/5 pounds of candy to place in each bag. He will need to place 1/10 pound of candy in each bag to fill them up. How many party bags can he make?

Answer 1

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

Bill was given 3/5 pounds, in decimal it is:

$\frac{3}{5} = \frac{3*2}{5*2} = \frac{6}{10} = 0.6$

He will need to place 1/10 pound, in decimal it is:

$\frac{1}{10} = 0.1$

He can make party bags:

0.6 : 0.1 = 6
